At a press conference following the HOB meeting, VOL asked the Presiding Bishop, "In light of the fact that Dr. Rowan Williams has announced he is retiring at the end of the year and going back into academia, what do you see as the future of the Covenant, Presiding Bishop, especially since you are on record as saying that it has 'passed its shelf life'?"
Jefferts Schori responded, "My sense is that The Episcopal Church will make a formal statement at General Convention. I certainly hope that statement expresses our desire to remain in communion and in covenanted relationship with other members the Anglican Communion. My sense is that we have more and deeper mission partnerships across the Communion today than we did three or four years ago."
